Your Tax Dollars Are Keeping America Beautiful

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

Today there were some Railroad Guys picking the trash that now collects along the railroad tracks that run just outside of my warehouse.

In the old days the trash would either blow up along side my building ( thus becoming  ‘my problem’ to clean up) or enterprising individuals looking to supplement their incomes would spare me some of the grossness by collecting the aluminum cans ( well, you know beer cans ) that the homeless people would pitch from the street to the railroad tracks below.

( what I see everyday-lucky me )

So these guys are out there with these harpoon things and garbage bags and they’re not happy-

because before the fence went up they never had to do this.

The fence went up because somebody somewhere decided that if they put a fence up here terrorists wouldn’t be able to get next to the tracks and ‘ hate America’.

Personally I think that if somebody is going to hurt you a chain link fence isn’t going to stop them from doing it.

HOWEVER.

All I know is that since the fence went up to ‘protect America’s Freedoms’ I  haven’t  touched a single pair of vomit stained pants, speared a single beer can or picked up syringe with a blood stained needle and tossed the entire mess into the trash where I had to look at it until the trash was collected or I found something to toss on top of the mess so that I DIDN’T have to look at it.

What can I say besides

God Bless America

and

USA
USA
YAY!

RIP Radio Star

If you

forced everyone to wear a wire clamped to their ear

that connected them to a phone

every

 Liberal, Conservative, and Human Rights Activist would be screaming bloody murder.

When you think about it

video didn’t just kill The Radio Star

back in the 80’s

Did it?

Never Ride A Harley To A Sci-Fi Convention

/ Anita Marie / 2 Comments

Back in the 80’s me and my friend rode our motorcycles to a Doctor Who Convention and saw Colin Baker- who hands down knew how to work a crowd-.

Anyway.

Me and my friend were Musicians and we looked the part all of the time so we showed up in leather jackets with heavy dark eyeliner and torn up and safety pinned clothes.

 Now the boys liked us ( the ones dressed up like espeacially the ones dressed up like Tom Baker- never did figure that one out) and a few of the girls and bless their hearts that took guts because nobody else would come within five feet of us.

You know who else was really nice to us?

Colin Baker

Colin Baker was more then happy to chat with us for a very long time when we lined up for autographs.

He was cool.

I had a great time at those Sci-Fi Conventions, as weird as they may look from the outside I respected every costumed over the top Fan because it takes mucho amounts of guts to show the world who you are and celebrate it.

Still.

It makes me wonder, if me and Margot showed up at one of those conventions on motorcycles today looking the way we did then- we wouldn’t be a side show because one must consider this picture from the Promo from ” The Stolen Earth ” episode of Doctor Who.

 

Doctor Who has lip locked with at least four of these characters- and one is a guy.

So I wonder…how would this Doctor have done at a Sci-Fi Convention back in the 80’s?

Who am I kidding.

He would have scored in a big way

 with the Tom Baker Fans.

Especially if he had shown up on a Harley and in Leather.

So Anita, I Hear Doctor Wonderful Dies

/ Anita Marie / 6 Comments

These so called friends of mine have been sending me sympathy cards

because

they heard that David Tennant will be the Doctor no more.

So am I mad at them for them teasing me?

For sending me the LOL Momento Mori Pictures with David Tennant speaking English in an ” I Can Has Cheeseburger Accent” ?

Nope.

I’m not upset because knowledge is power and I’ve learned a few things:

What I learned courtesy of the BBC news is the ending of the DW Grand Finale and I’ve also learned that these friends of mine do not read THIS blog where I spilled the beans about the Grand Finale coming up on Friday about three weeks ago.

That surprised me because my friends have said:

( okay, most of the time they were drunk when they said it )

…Oh…I love your stuff Anita…you’re so funny Anita…I put your links at my blog Anita…I’m always at your blog Anita…blah …blah… blah…

Brother.

What a bunch of Toad Crunchers and Forked Tongued Snake Monkeys I have managed to befriend over the years. I feel like that little girl in Frankenstein who tosses flowers into the river with the Monster and  when she runs out of flowers he drowns her ..but I digress.

See, I can say all this stuff here because I’ve learned if I want to talk smack about my friends  who are the kind of people who find ways to cheat on computer games before they actually play the game I can just say it here…

because if I want to keep secrets from them

obviously…THIS IS THE PLACE TO DO IT.

SNARK ATTACK.

Thanks guys…you AREN’T useless…you saved me from a no post day…

Now…on to serious stuff…

Here’s some info about the Grand Finale…and even if you’ve been checking the spoilers and know how it ends I’ve been told it’s a heck of a show and is NOT to be missed.

Face This

/ Anita Marie / Leave a comment

I have a Face.

On Facebook.

And for awhile most of my Facebooker Friends

were Political Activists

and the pages and groups that they belong to are all tied to Politicians.

Which makes sense.

I know-let’s take a look at my pages, shall we?

Barack Obama

Politician

Yeah…well, Obama – I mean come on, he’s going to be the next President.

The Twilight Zone

I know…BIG SURPRISE

 

Doctor Who

But of COURSE

 

David Tennant

my favorite- well, you know…

Yow

 

 

Rod Serling

my favorite writer

I AM NOT WORTHY I AM NOT WORTHY

 

And then of course there are the groups where a large percentage of my Facebook activist friends connect ( which is what Facebook is supposed to be about…making connections with like minded people)  with all sorts of groups that want to make a change in the world, they care about human rights and voter’s rights and the environment.

Let’s see what I’ve got going on shall we?

Oh here’s one that really speaks to something I believe in

it’s called:

Fuck this, lets all go be PIRATES!!!

Actually- I go to that page A LOT- mostly I go there after doing political stuff – and I’m not kidding.

Kolchak – The Night Stalker

I joined this group because I like remembering the days when I wanted to be a Journalist that wrote about Monsters. I was about 10 years old at the time.

I’m  44 and guess what…I do write about monsters…who said a little girl’s dreams can’t come true?

Not me, that’s for sure.

 Death to Talkies!

It really is about something worthwhile- Silent Films- which in my opinion are pretty damn wonderful.

 

And of course to express how one feels

you can post mood pictures.

Here’s one I posted recently:

fluffy

(I was having a rough day.)
 

 

So I do have to ask myself.

If Facebook is all about Networking

and getting your views out there…what am I using it for?

Let me think.

I’ve got it.

Cyber Tagging.

Yeah.

That’s it.
